W “Theft prevention: Work with your neighbors to ensure pick up of any item that may hint nobody is home.”
hat a good summer we had. Difficult at times due to the drought situation, yet we were mostly spared of the fires and floods Mother Nature dished out west and east of us. All local events went on mainly as planned so hopefully a good time was had by all. So now fall is in the air. Nice breezy days, cool nights, and leaves turning colors. Great time of year. For us on the Board, it is time for 2016 budget preparation. We will unfold our proposed financial plan during the Board meeting scheduled for October 22nd at 6 p.m. at the Red Hawk Private Members Lounge located across the breezeway from David’s Grill. We look forward to your attendance. More about the Board meeting October 22nd: We will have important figureheads as guest speakers. They will spend some time with us to introduce themselves, cover mainline topics of their area of responsibility, and field questions from the audience. We are honored to have (in order of the agenda): • Nevada Assemblywoman Jill Dickman, Assembly District 31 • Ward 4 Councilwoman Charlene Bybee, City of Sparks • Project lead Wingfield Cove (Village 30), Jackie Seeno, Seeno Construction Perfect time for all to ask questions and get to know these officials. Theft prevention: I always cover this topic in this October issue of HawkTalk. We are under the watch of a professional safety patrol. House watch is a free service they offer for folks who will have their property unattended for any length of time. Most users of this service praise it—certainly worth taking advantage of. Other tips for consideration: Work with your neighbors to ensure pick up of any item that may hint nobody is home. Install timers and nighttime lighting both inside and out. Of course, an alarm system with cameras will help deter illintentioned individuals. There are several other approaches to prevention; simply search the internet on the subject for more information. Board Director Elections: This year two Board Director Seats are up for renewal. If only one or two individuals submit their candidacy they will automatically be voted in. If more than two submissions are received an election will take place. You will then receive the ballots in early November. It is then important you cast your vote for the two candidates of your choice. We encourage you to exercise your right and return your sealed ballots promptly. The results will be announced at the November 19th annual meeting. Since this release covers October to December, on behalf of the Board and our partners, we wish you a great Thanksgiving and a very festive holiday season. We look forward to working with you in 2016. Until then remain safe and healthy.
